Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2075

In the next instant, Andrew had Callum firmly in his grasp.

Callum managed a quick reaction, stomping the ground and leaping upward, his leg whipping around in a vicious kick aimed at Andrew's head.

Yet, Andrew's face did not even flicker. He blocked with his elbow, deflecting the strike, and then slammed a palm into Callum's shoulder.

It all happened so fast that Henry and the McDaniel family's martial saint, Larry McDaniel, only realized what was happening when it was too late.

Both roared in fury and shot toward Andrew.

Andrew's face hardened with killing intent. Ignoring Callum's scream, he grabbed him like a rag doll and hurled him outward. A violent surge of energy burst from the strike, making the entire redwood forest tremble.

Larry froze, afraid to attack recklessly and injure Callum. He dropped back down to the ground just as Andrew kicked Callum hard in the chest.

Blood gushed out from Callum's mouth as his face twisted in agony.

Larry's eyes bulged with rage. "Mr. Callum! Andrew, how dare you lay a hand on the McDaniel family? You'll never leave Sunstrand alive!"

Andrew slapped Callum twice across the face. Then, he launched a powerful kick skyward, knocking Henry straight out of the air.

Henry staggered back several heavy steps before he steadied himself, shock rattling through his chest. Wave after wave of dread struck him.

How had Andrew become this terrifying?

Back in Goldridge, Henry had still thought himself capable of keeping Andrew under control. But now, weighing the gap, he realized he stood no chance at all in a direct confrontation.
